Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…
We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…
Recently, Bleeding Cool ran an article on how Marvel were looking to get certain creators out of their exclusive deals with Marvel, in an attempt to save money. And how Ariel Olivetti may have been a good example, locked into a two year excluisve deal with Marvel but suddenly appearing on the rejigged Men Of…
Toy News International ran these scans of images of DC toys and statues for 2012. But did they miss the headline story? Or is it a case of one side of DC not knowing what the other is doing? Because in May 2012, as part of the New 52 Cover Girls Of The DC Universe,…
Bursting out of last weekend’s Thought Bubble convention in Leeds comes the new issue of Spandex, the all-gay superhero comic by Martin Eden that made a worldwide splash when it was first published. And this time they’re fighting gay zombies. Gay celebrity zombies. Or celebrity gay zombies. Your choice. Here’s a trailer for the third…
We’ve only just reported that Jimmy Carr is writing a comic for issue 6 of Mark Millar’s CLiNT Magazine. Now we can report that issue 4, now due out on December the 2nd, will have a comic written by Stewart Lee and drawn by Steve Yeowell, called The Property. One of my favourite comedians of…
The Simon Pegg graphic novel (scooped here, previewed here) The Adventures Of Simon Pegg And Canterbury And The Mystery Of The Scarlet Panther And The Star Of Nefertiti And The Tablet Of Amonhotep IV, adapted by Random House from sections of Pegg’s autobiography Nerd Do Well and illustrated by Gaz Roberts from Blend,is out digitally…
It’s a $100 book. In the US, Amazon have preorders listed at $63, which is a good discount, 37% off. In the UK however it’s a £75 book, which is about par for the course these days. But listed on Amazon UK as £24.69 which is 67% off. And around $40. Which is cheaper than…
This is The Bleeding Cool ComicChron Robot speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.. Speaking Of… TRON: Legacy – Interviews with Cast & Crew, Part 1 & 2 (TCTV) I just returned from a two…
Before Marc Webb, before Sam Raimi, before even James Cameron but after Roger Corman, the carrier of the cinematic Spider-Man torch were the amazing schlockmeisters of Cannon Films. Throughout the 80s they struggled to get a Spidey picture together, and went as far as writing, casting and even making a trailer. Here is that trailer….
Why isn’t there a Halo movie already? Because Microsoft won’t let the movie studios take the merchandising rights, and without that safety net, nobody wants to bankroll such a risky picture. It’s a story we’ve heard before, but it has been recounted again by Microsoft’s Frank O’Connor. He was speaking at the Future of Television…
There’s a very interesting list over at The Hollywood Reporter’s legal blog, THR Esq., revealing all of the various items and services that Warner Bros. have reserved for their Harry Potter tradmark, “Quidditch”. I’ll run the full list as a massive, scary and hilarious block, but bold out any that I found particularly noteworthy. Sporting…
Marc Guggenheim has a credit list that many envy. For TV he’s written for The Practice, Law & Order, CSI: Miami and Brothers & Sisters. He co-created Eli Stone and is currently the producer and writer for ABC’s No Ordinary Family. But twenty years ago, he was a Marvel intern. His comics writing credits since…
Did you see Easy A? Did you like it as much as I did? Did you spot the in-joke/coincidental reference to the upcoming 21 Jump Street movie? Amongst the young men named and shamed as taking advantage of Olive’s special services in the film were, I believe, Phil Lord and Chris Miller. These guys are…
Yesterday, I was telling you about the BFI and Disney’s plans to show every one of the Big Mouse’s 50 animated features throughout the year of 2011. If that’s too much a time commitment for you, here’s a clip from each and every one, counting up to Tangled, the number 50 milestone movie. Should work…
I don’t know if you’ve seen what Katy Perry does with her boobs in the video for her single, Firework, but the stunt certainly made a few headlines. That was all part of the idea, I’m sure. Here’s the full video, and also screen grab of her… er… roman candles in action. Thanks for that,…
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
